My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Kaycee, a handsome and energetic young lad who is looking for a partner in crime to guide him through life.

Kaycee is a "velcro dog" in the truest sense; he has a massive heart and a deep desire to be included in every single thing his humans are doing. Whether you are working in the yard or relaxing on the sofa, Kaycee will be right there by your side.

Because he missed out on structure early in life, he is looking for an active, patient family committed to showing him the ropes. He is incredibly eager to please and learns at lightning speed, especially since he is highly food-motivated!

While Kaycee is a total sweetheart, he is a big boy who is still learning his manners. He hasn’t quite mastered the art of sharing yet, so we recommend an adult-only home where his resource guarding and "counter surfing" tendencies can be managed with training and consistency.

Due to his big, soulful voice, he isn't a good candidate for apartment living. He loves other dogs but is still learning how to navigate social boundaries. He would do well with a confident canine sibling who can mentor him. Kaycee is fully house trained and has lived with cats before with no issues.

Kaycee is essentially a blank slate with a lot of potential, who was never given the roadmap to success. With a bit of patience, mutual respect, and plenty of exercise to burn off his high energy, Kaycee is going to be an absolutely incredible companion.

Kaycee is more than ready to start his new chapter with a family who will give him the love and leadership he deserves. 💛
